Abstract

Claims (26)

1 . A glove donning aid machine, comprising a main body configured for being mounted on a wall, the main body being provided with a placement area for positioning a glove box, the glove box containing gloves;

an adsorption structure disposed on the main body, the adsorption structure being configured to grip a glove from the glove box and pull the glove downward to detach it from the glove box, and to open a cuff of the glove into an expanded state, the cuff being oriented downward relative to the main body;

a planar rotating structure disposed on the main body and located below the adsorption structure, the rotating structure comprising two support arms configured to move toward or away from each other;

wherein, when the cuff is in the expanded state, the two support arms are inserted into the cuff from below, then move away from each other to further expand the cuff, and the rotating structure rotates in a plane to orient the cuff laterally relative to the main body.

2 . The glove donning aid machine of claim 1 , wherein the adsorption structure comprises two clamping arms configured to move toward or away from each other, a clamping gap is defined between the two clamping arms for allowing the glove to pass through, the clamping arms being located below the placement area, each of the clamping arms being provided with a plurality of vacuum suction heads made of tacky silicone material;

wherein, after the glove passes through the clamping gap, the two clamping arms move toward each other to clamp the glove, the vacuum suction heads adsorbing the glove; and

after the glove is pulled downward to detach from the glove box, the two clamping arms move away from each other to open the cuff into the expanded state.

3 . The glove donning aid machine of claim 2 , wherein each clamping arm has a clamping surface facing the clamping gap, the clamping surface being recessed to form a recessed area, and the plurality of vacuum suction heads being arranged within the recessed area and flush with the clamping surface.

4 . The glove donning aid machine of claim 3 , wherein each of the two clamping arms is provided with a contact point exposed on the clamping surface;

wherein, when the glove is clamped between the two clamping arms, the contact points are electrically disconnected; and

when the clamping surfaces of the two clamping arms abut each other, the contact points make electrical contact with each other.

5 . The glove donning aid machine of claim 2 , wherein the main body is provided with an upper moving plate configured to move vertically, the two clamping arms being movably connected to the upper moving plate and arranged horizontally in a transverse direction;

wherein, when the upper moving plate moves upward and the glove passes through the clamping gap, the two clamping arms move toward each other to clamp the glove, then the upper moving plate moves downward to pull the glove downward until it detaches from the glove box; and

after the glove is detached, the two clamping arms move away from each other to open the cuff into the expanded state.

6 . The glove donning aid machine of claim 5 , wherein each of the two clamping arms is connected to an upper rack, the two upper racks being arranged opposite each other with a spacing and movably connected to the upper moving plate;

an upper gear is disposed between the two upper racks and engaged with both, and rotation of the upper gear drives the two upper racks to move linearly and synchronously, thereby driving the clamping arms to move toward or away from each other.

7 . The glove donning aid machine of claim 6 , wherein the main body is provided with a lower moving plate configured to move vertically, a rotating plate rotatable in a plane relative to the lower moving plate is disposed on the lower moving plate, and the two support arms are movably connected to the rotating plate;

wherein, when the cuff is opened into the expanded state, the lower moving plate moves upward, the support arms are inserted into the cuff and then move away from each other to expand the cuff, and the rotating plate rotates in a plane to orient the cuff laterally relative to the main body.

8 . The glove donning aid machine of claim 7 , wherein each of the two support arms is connected to a lower rack, the two lower racks being arranged opposite each other with a spacing and movably connected to the lower moving plate;

a lower gear is disposed between the two lower racks and engaged with both, and rotation of the lower gear drives the two lower racks to move linearly and synchronously, thereby driving the support arms to move toward or away from each other.

9 . The glove donning aid machine of claim 7 , wherein each support arm is bent and includes a longitudinal section extending upward, the two longitudinal sections being arranged opposite each other with a spacing;

wherein, when the support arms move toward or away from each other, the two longitudinal sections move synchronously; and

when the cuff is opened into the expanded state, the two longitudinal sections are inserted into the cuff from below and then move away from each other to expand the cuff.

10 . The glove donning aid machine of claim 9 , wherein each longitudinal section has an outward-facing surface arranged in an arcuate shape, a rolling shaft is rotatably disposed within the longitudinal section and extends in a height direction thereof, the rolling shaft passes through the outward-facing surface and is exposed at a central position thereof;

raised shafts are disposed at both ends of the outward-facing surface and extend in the height direction of the longitudinal section;

wherein, when the longitudinal sections are inserted into the cuff and move apart to expand the glove, the glove contacts the rolling shaft and the raised shafts, and a gap is formed between the glove and the outward-facing surface.
